Hawaii weather is such that, the islands receive enough of both sunshine and rain. However, by observing the trends of the weather, rain is more likely to be on the island’s north and east sides as they are the windward sides of the island, as well as the valleys and mountain peaks. Also, according to these observations, it is less likely to rain on the coastal areas of the south and west sides of the islands.

The wet season has the cooler temperatures with more rainfall and would last approximately from October to March. The dry season is much warmer with less rainfall and will last from April to September.
